Chinook

Chinook hops are very distinctive dual-purpose hops used in Ales useful for bittering and flavor/aroma. Subtle notes of grapefruit with a distinct, medium intensity spice and pine characteristics. Some find the quality to be too bittering and rough because of its lingering taste, but a lot of brewers can’t get enough. Chinook hops are great for American Pale Ales and IPAs but are also suitable for seasonal ales, barley wine, and some porters and stouts.
